Lastly, we find out that over this three-year period, USC has the best publicity department in college football. The Trojans may have had a lot of players taken in those three first rounds, but no school's picks underperformed worse (Leinart, Reggie Bush, Keith Rivers and Sedrick Ellis fell a combined -382).

Every chance I get, shows why we've been so bad.

Side note, Gosder was redrafted pretty much a no draft even though he has playaed lots of games.

Which is exactly what that whole redraft thing is a freakin' joke. I have been one of the hardest critics of Cherilus that I know of, but even I wouldn't rate him lower than a fourth or fifth round pick. Undrafted? That's absolute crap.

Guys, keep in mind this is a column by Rick Reilly. It's just his opinion. Not a re-draft by a bunch of NFL people. Reilly often writes entertaining articles, but it doesn't make him an expert on the NFL by any means.

Always consider the source...

Gos is not a great player, but he's not an undrafted type of player. I'm pretty sure he would be a 3rd-5th rounder now.

Re: 2006, 2007, 2008 Redraft ESPN

I know nothing of the author. I don't disagree mush with his first rounder stuff, they are close enough, but he certainly is probably making decisions based on uninformed decisions on the back end.

I think it does clearly show how well some teams did in bringing in talent from multiple rounds that have played to first round potential while others failed across the board even in the first round.

I saw this article a few days ago. There was a lot I didn't agree with, but hey at least Avril made it as a first round choice. This just makes me think back to the re-draft article that was on the home page a few years ago. Anybody know how to access that again? It was a good read. We should write one for the last few drafts to see how different our team could have been.

Gos is not a great player, but he's not an undrafted type of player. I'm pretty sure he would be a 3rd-5th rounder now.

And this redraft only covers the 1st round. It's not saying that he would not be drafted anywhere in the 7 round draft. It's saying that as far as the 1st round goes, Gos would be undrafted in the 1st round.

Read the article again. For each player that falls out of the first round, he gives a number as to how far they would fall. He has Gos falling out of the entire first 256 picks.
